A:
Why would you do that?
Tables are to be used to present tabular data. In this case there is no need to use any other markup. This is just fine and respects the HTML specification.
However, you should not use tables to markup your document's layout. In this case you should use a combination of headers, divs, paragraphs, list elements, and so on... Styled with some CSS.
A great book on this subject is "Bulletproof Web Design" by Dan Cederholm: http://simplebits.com/work/

It depends on your content's semantic meaning. I can play with divs and CSS but it will not be perfect. If you are interersted in good SEO, this is important. Also, speaking about SEO, have a look there, it don't hurts: http://powazek.com/posts/2090

A:
There is no good automated way to do this.
If you have well marked up content in the layout tables, then a web developer can implement a similar design using CSS for presentation and the content can be dropped in to it — but that's the best you can really hope for.
